âBut your conversation will be recorded by the police,â Captain Xiao added.
âSure.â Luosang had done nothing wrong, so she had nothing to fear.
On their way to the police station, Captain Xiao quickly explained Zhong Yiâs current situation to Luosang again. It was already one oâclock in the morning when she saw Zhong Yi. The pale light poured straight down onto Zhong Yiâs face. It made her scrawny face look fierce and grim. Her red coat was stained with blood.
Was that Leng Shuangweiâs blood?
Luosang couldnât imagine how dangerous the situation was.
Zhong Yi looked at her with strong hatred. âLuosang, I knew youâd come. Are you anxious and scared now? Hah, I tried to kill Nian Juntingâs grandma. Letâs see if the Nian family will accept you now.â
Luosang knocked on the table while asking angrily, âZhong Yi, if youâre really unhappy because of me, why didnât you just come to kill me? How can you attack an old lady? Do you still have humanity and conscience?â
Zhong Yi sneered. âIf I killed you, your troubles would end. Whatâs fun about that? I want you to live and suffer. Youâve made your way back into the voice acting circle, youâre capable enough to fight Yi Jingxi, and youâre close with Ji Nuanyi. Youâre living a better life, and thatâs because you have hooked up with Nian Junting. Once you lose him, youâll turn back to your original self. Also, Miao Zheng brought me to that party. The Nian family is so powerful, they surely wonât let Miao Zheng get away with it. I hurt Nian Juntingâs grandma, so the Nian family will hurt Miao Zheng. Only the Nian family can hurt him.â
Luosang understood. Zhong Yi was trying to kill two birds with one stone.
âYou could have left Miao Zheng, if you cannot stand him. Why did you stay with him to suffer all the torment? Is it because of money?â Luosang said coldly, âYouâve only spent a few years in the entertainment industry, but I assume you made a lot of money already. Even though you needed to pay the penalties for all the canceled advertisements, you should have millions left, at least. Thatâs enough for you to live a life. People should be content. Think about your family. Besides, many people have lived great lives after they left the entertainment business.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYou think I want to be like this? Itâs all because of you! Itâs because you sent the recording to Yi Jingxi!â Zhong Yi suddenly slapped the table and burst out screaming. She almost lost control of herself, so the nearby female officer hurriedly pressed her down.
She lowered her head and started crying. âI feel as if Iâm living like a ghost. My life is even worse than death. Iâm alive, but Iâm in so much pain that I wish I was dead. I followed Yi Jingxi for such a long time, but because of you, he showed me no mercy. You think he only terminated the contract and forced me out of the business after you gave him that recording? Youâre wrong. That was only the beginning. His people gave me drugs. Iâve spent all my money on drugs, and I canât control myself.â
Luosang was stunned. She didnât expect Zhong Yiâs drug addition to have something to do with Yi Jingxi.
âAnd... he hired all kinds of nasty people to harass me endlessly.â Zhong Yi laughed bitterly. âWherever I was, those people found me. Even when I was at home, they knocked my door in the middle of the night. Some people sent me weird packages. I was locked in a bathroom when I was shopping. Every time I went out at night, those people found me and molested me. Me, a star, was stripped and bullied by a bunch of rowdies. Do you know how miserable I was? That was a nightmare.â
Luosang couldnât think of a word to say for a long time.
The more Zhong Yi talked, the angrier she got. âThereâs negative news about me all over the internet. Everyone hates me. Every day, I could only stay at home. But, I canât control my drug addiction. I needed drugs, and I needed money. I had no choice but to be with Miao Zheng, who used to pursue me. Heâs rich and powerful, so he saved me from Yi Jingxi. He gives me money, too. However, he turned out to be an even scarier monster than Yi Jingxi. He took nude photos of me. He forced me to be like a prostitute. In bed, he never treated me like a person. He liked to whip me, burn me with candles, and tie me and hang me up. I tried to run, but he threatened me with the nude photos. I canât quit taking drugs, either. Everyone in the business is afraid of him. So, I had no choice but to go back to him again and again.
âIf I left him, Iâd have to face Yi Jingxi. I ran away from Yi Jingxi, but couldnât run away from Miao Zheng. I tried to endure all this, but he keeps making it worse and worse. He vented his anger on me every time he was in a bad mood.â Zhong Yi laughed in a cold and creepy voice. âThat time I saw you, Nian Junting, Director Tang, and the others in the restaurant... Look at you, how pretty and glamorous. Nian Junting cares about you so much. What about me? I was with Miao Zheng, an ugly monster whoâs old enough to be my father. Itâs not fair. I hate you so much, so I came up with this perfect plan. I knew that Miao Zheng was going to attend the old ladyâs birthday party, so I begged him to bring me with him. I begged for a long time. If I killed the old lady, the Nian family would definitely make Miao Zheng suffer, and Nian Junting would feel awful every time he saw you. He would regret it, and he would wonder why he was with you, because if he wasnât, his grandma would still be alive. Such a perfect plan. I could kill two birds with one stone. However, I missed. A bloody b*tch who came out of nowhere stopped me.â
Once she finished her speech, Zhong Yi lost her temper, raised her arms, and attempted to pounce on Luosang. The police officer beside her hurriedly pressed her back down.
âZhong Yi, I, too, have been through what you just said, including being harassed and being locked in a bathroom. You did all those things to me, but I never became like you,â said Luosang calmly.
âYes. I hired people to do those things to you. Yi Jingxi found out, so he did the same to me, only a hundred times worse. I wouldnât have become like this if he hadnât gotten me into drugs,â Zhong Yi said sadly.
âWasnât it Yi Jingxi who did those things to me?â Luosang was shocked.
âXu Luosang, why are you always so happy? You had your father, then Yi Jingxi, and now you have Nian Junting.â Zhong Yiâs cold face was filled with hatred. âI curse you. I want you to never be happy again.â
Luosang felt that Zhong Yi was completely unreasonable, so she slowly stood up and said, âZhong Yi, youâre lucky that you didnât actually kill anyone this time. Just quit taking drugs. Youâre still young, after all. Even if you have to stay in prison for over ten years, youâll still have a chance to start a new life when you get out.â
âStop faking,â said Zhong Yi through clenched teeth.
âI will be happy. Junting and I love each other deeply. We wonât break up easily. Even if we do break up, Iâll still be content with being in love with him once.â Luosang stood up and slowly walked out.
âI curse you! I hope Nian Junting abandons you, and I hope your dad spends the rest of his life in prison!â Zhong Yi screamed hysterically.
As the door slowly shut, Luosang closed her eyes. Nian Xi walked over, gently patted her on the shoulder, and said, âItâs clear now. Miao Zheng and Yi Jingxi are the reason why Zhong Yi became like this.â
âWe will arrest Miao Zheng right now,â said Captain Xiao. âAs for Yi Jingxi, we will start an investigation on him. Thank you, Miss Xu.â
